Hip-Hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is not having a good day…
The rapper was arrested Monday for assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly swinging a kettlebell during an argument with a UCLA coach. Police have updated the charges to three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats and one count of battery. The argument reportedly started after a UCLA strength and conditioning coach was being hard on Diddy’s son, who is a redshirt junior on the university’s football team. Diddy was released last night on 50-thousand-dollar bond.
Now what started all of this according to sources was that Diddy’s son, Justin Combs, had missed some recent workouts and wasn’t giving a great effort Monday morning, so UCLA strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi kicked him out of the session.
At approximately noon, Combs and Diddy came to UCLA’s athletic facility, the Acosta Center, while Alosi was in his office, which is adjacent to the weight room. Combs entered Alosi’s office while Alosi was on the phone, and Alosi asked Combs to wait a moment while he finished the call. Many sources who were in the locker room witnessed an angered Diddy enter Alosi’s office, rattling off expletives at the coach. Alosi then instructed interns who were immediately outside his office to alert campus security. A still incensed Diddy then came around Alosi’s desk, saying that he would get campus security on Alosi’s desk phone. Alosi, then, according to witnesses, put up his hand in a non-threatening way, and instructed Combs to get his father out of the office. Diddy then walked into Alosi’s hand, and told Alosi not to put his hands on him.
In the next moment, according to many on the scene, Diddy attacked Alosi, until interns and other personnel pulled off Diddy. The celebrity broke free again at one point and struck Alosi. The personnel were then successful in getting Diddy out of the office and into the weight room, where Diddy picked up a kettlebell, which is a type of barbell, and then swung in at one of the interns.
According to sources, Alosi had scratches on his face and his shirt was ripped as a result of the altercation.
UCPD arrived, and the situation reportedly calmed down, and those close to events believed nothing would come of the incident. The UCLA training facility, however, is equipped with security cameras, the police watched the video, and subsequently arrested Diddy.
Diddy remained on campus for a couple of hours under arrest.
